Ah, Si Mon Moine Voulait Danser is a lively traditional Québécois song arrangement with piano for a developing SAB choir by Gerda Blok-Wilson. This arrangement features changing boys voices. The rhythmic selection describes a young woman who wants a monk (the word also can mean a spinning top) to dance. She offers him a cap, a gown, etc., then a psalter; he rejects each because he has taken a vow of poverty. The piece will be a favourite for both singer and audience. Great festival selection! The recording is by the Prince George Bel Canto Choirs.

Congratulations to everyone for your fantastic performances at the HEART AND SOUL.
From diction, phrasing, vocal technique to expression, interpretation and teamwork all choir levels engaged the audience.

On behalf of the artistic team, Erica, Andrea, Erin (choreographer) and I, it was a pleasure rehearsing and conducting you!

Music has already arrived for the show, LOOK TO THE RAINBOW, Saturday, March 9th, 2:30 and 7pm – I’ll send samples in the next few days.

I hope to see everyone back for this exciting session which will culminate with all three choirs performing the a mass choir arrangement of the Voice – please share the news with friends and family. I’ve also confirmed that soloist, Emanuelle Lyons, will be back by popular demand.
